Wetrust that the improvements which may be made will include the appointment of an official ** located in Charlottetown and clothed with sufficient authority to promptly in cases of emergency.”

By far the most important topic discussed | at the Board of Trade is that cf

act

a tunnel. There can be no doubt that the President of the Board is his declaration

that ** that which the trade and commerce

right in : of this Province most needs at the present | time is a tunnel across the Strait of Nourth-| umberland ;"" and his opinion that the people of this country

we heartily concur in

ance of the contract made by the Dominion (jovernment under the terms of Confeder- In this connection we cannot but express Tue EXaMINneRr’s great regret that Mr. L H. Davies, M. P., is not yet ready to heartily represent the interests of his constituents, but is still in that carping, critical, waiting mood, which suggests diffi- culties and demands certainties in advance of adveeacy. What we want isan advocate in the House of Commonsto do the werk which Senator Howlan has done m the Senate. If our representatives in the House of Commons would but do their duty as the representatives of British Columbia aiid in the days before the Canadian Pacific

tailway, there would, we believe, be no necessity for the appointment by the Board of Trade of a committee to suggest ‘*the best means of urging the Dominion Government to undertake the construction of a tunnel across the Strait.” But the course taken by the Board of Trade is, per- hape, under the circumstances, the best that could be adopted.

$-+60 Oe" Direct Taxation.

Tur Leader of the Opposition (Mr Laurier) ridiculed Tae Examiner's conten- tion that $14.000,000 of revenue would be lost if Unrestricted Reciprocity were adopt- ed and that direct taxation must conse- quently ensue. it is pleasing to note that Tus ExaMINER is not alone in its opinion respecting thia important point. The Tor- onto Week, a high-class journal of uagues- ed independence and ability, says :

‘Nothing can be more misleading than for the advocate of Unrestricted Reciprecity to assume that under that arrangement the re- venue from importations, other than those frem the United Stat s, will remain undi- minished. if they should do so, the very fact--if ,we may adapt the argument often used against Protectiouisis—would stamp the new arrangement as a failure. Advocates of Unrestricted Reciprocity should look this ob- jectioa fairly in the face. They must not be permitted to ignore @ consideration which sug- gests itself to the candid mind at the very outset, i. e., “the displacement of British and other old world goods by American gvods,” Mr. Thomson's question lere is un«nswerable, ec rather can be answered ouly ia the afiirm- ative: “If American goods, which now com pete advantageously here with Harepean yoods, could euter free of customs taxes, while British and other European goods could nat enter without paying 30 or 40 per cent., would not American goods displace all others to so great an extent that gother $7,000,000 or say $14,000,000 in all, would be lost to the Ped- eval treasury?”

It ought to be noted that the Mr, Thom- son here referred to is, according to the Week, a writer of ‘‘well-known ability” who has occupied ‘‘from the days of George Brown until a few months ago, save for rwo or three years, an important position on the Globe staff, and still avows himself an ardent Liberal and an advocate of Unre- stricted Reciprocity.” This gentleman has estimated the Joss of revenue at precisely the same amount as THs Examiner has estimated it,—and the Week agrees with him. The Week says,also, that it is fortunate that a well known Liberal writer has come forward at this juncture, on the eve of the Liberal Convention, to say thus boldly to the leaders of the party : Either you do be- lieve that ** Direct Taxation on a Great Seale” is a corvllary of Unrestricted Re- ciprocity or you do not. If you do not be- lieve what seems to others almost self-evi- dent, bring forth your strong reasons and demonstrate the soundness of your views. If you do, then say so frankly and honest- ly, and commence at once to educate the people up to your standard, since either the demonstration or the educstion is most sure- ly indispensable to the success of your

DAILY EXAM

The Tunnel.

Awxormen pen--one of the ablest and most eloquent in all Canada—has §late- ly been employed in the advocacy of the proposed of Prince Edward Island Tunnel. The Rev. George M. Grant has a lengthy communication in the issue of the Week to hand this morning. Principal Grant re- fers to the terms of Confederation, and re-

/ marks ;

“Canada carried out its engagemen’s, in let. in spirit, with British Columbia, he difliculties in the way and the cost were enormous. Have we lost by so doing? No: we have gained. Besides how could we lose by keeping our word ? “Prince Edward Island asks us, and has

ter and though t

‘been asking for years, to carry out our ene | vagement with her, and though it has been

shown that the cost will probably be next to nethinc, we have satisfied ourselves with makeeshifts, instead of the ovly thing that would be satisfactory performance. What is the reason of the diferent treatment in the two cases ?

“Tt cannot be because British Columbia

' makes a rule of sending members to support

the Government, while Prince Edward Island sends a solid delegation of six to support the Opposition, though that may be a partial or party explanation. The real reason is that in the one ease the popular imigination was touched,and in the other case it was notand is not. ‘Te connect two oceans was a big thing. ‘To connect on Island with the mainland seems aamallthing, I have never seem a reference to the sabject in any but one of the great Tor- outo dailies, and in that one the reference has Llways consisted of a flout concerning vision- .ries or worse people, who propose to waste

| millions on impossible enterprizes.

**Thave spent two winters in Prince Edward Island as well as one summer, and know something of the stagnation in bus- iness and other evils connected with its annually recurring long isolation from the Few who live in Western and Central Canada know what a lovely ccuntry it is, the best in the world, perhaps, for the production of root crops, cattle and men. The militia are the tallest and stoutest in the Dominion. The people are almost en- tirely farmers, living, now that the land question has been permanently settled, on their own farms, a healthy, sober, intelli- gent and moral population of 120,000, who feel themselves as completely cut off for aliost half the year from the body of which they are nominally a part, as British Columbians.used tu be for the whole year, and who notwithstanding have been singularly patient, as well as moderate, in stating their case and pressing their de- mands. Surely this very moderation should make us all the more eager to do them justice. Lt cannot be good policy to make such a population discontented or to allow the slightest shadow to rest on our natonal reputation for goed faith. It is not right even to delay, unneccessarily, in such acase. The Prince Edward Island farmer hears that potatoes are selling in New York forthe price of oranges, and that there is a market in Britaia for turkeys and eggs, but in neither case is he any the better. Six miles and a half from his coast is a Government Railway that does not pay working expenses, and that would be glad to take his stuff down to the open port of St. John, but that lolly- covered angry strait blocks him effectually. It took Mr. Laurier and his, party seven hours the other day to cross it, though there were five boats’ crews together. When half-way across, Mr. Laurier must have been in a good mood to consider the propriety of a metallic snbway, and he must have felt the claims of Prince Edward Island as he never felt them before. What a pity that Sir John could not be induced to visit ‘the Garden of the Gulf’ during the Christmas or Easter holidays, and try both the Stanley and the open boat, that is the only alternative when the Stanley is disabled! He would be converted as effectually as I feel sure Mr. Laurier is. The sum required would be in the next estimates, moved by the Leader of the Gov- ernment and seconded by the Leader of the Opposition.

** All honor to Senator Howlan for what he has done to press this important matter on the House for years, and all honor to the Week for its advocacy. Our duty must be done, and I would call the attention of the Week to the fact that something more is needed than ‘a Competent Commission to enquire into the feasibility and cost of the subway scheme.’

Principal Grant then alludes to the sur- veys and estimates that have been made, and continues :

‘* After seeing the St, Clair metallic sub- way, and hearing from Mr. Chorles Me- Kenzie, M. P. P., an account of its history and cost, and the probable cost of another or a longer, and after studying the geolo- gical and other conditions between Capes Traverse and Tormentine, I shall be very much astonished if the contract is let fora sum much over Mr. Shanley’s estimate. And if so, what does it mean? In the first piace, the tunnel will eost Canada nothing. Senator Howlan proves that the total ex- penditure, now, for the service of maintain- ing connection between the Island and the mainland, winter and summer, averages $200,000 annually. The expenditure on the present lines can never be less, and that sum is more than the interest on five mil- lions.” :

In the second,our contract with the Island will be kept in the spirit and the letter. [ shall not attempt to estimate how mach thatis worth. Inthe third place, the peo- ple of the Island will be benefitted to the extent of nearly a million a year. They will also accept the tunnel as payment in full for unsettled claims, and, feeling for the first time that they ave an integra) part of the Dominion, will be all the more valu- able members of the Commonwealth in the time tocome. Other minor and collateral advantages could be enumerated. But, ad- vantages aside, we must do what is right, and do it generously. Canada cannot af- ford to act shabbily towards a small pro- vince. We have set out to build up a na- tion. That required us to build the Inter- colonial, the C. P. R., the Sault Ste. Marie Canal and the Cape Breton Railway. The subway between Canada and the mainland is needed to complete the unification of Canada, and the sooner tenders are called for it the better.”

In the name of the people of Prince Ed- ward Island we thank Principal Grant for those words of his, hearty and strony, ad- dressed to the most intelligent readers of Canada.”

ANNUAL MEETING —THE TUNNEL QUESTION.

Tue adjourned general annual meeting of the Charlottetown Board of Trade was held in the Board Room, Cameron Block, last evening at eight © clock. President Carvell, who occupied the chair, there were present: L. L. Beer, Thomas Handrahan, F. T. Newbery, George Peake, John Newson, John Maceachern, P. Blake, D. Farquharson, F. H Arnaud, A. MeNeill, T. A. McLean, R. B. Norton, H. Haszard, James Paton, T. J. Harris, W. W. Beer, George Stanley, G. H. Has- zard and D. Small. ;

Aiter the transaction of some reutine business, President Carvell submitted his annual report, which was unaaimously adopted and ordered to be published. The report, omitting the opening references to the finances of the Board, the change of meeting room,and the visits of the Maratime Press Association, the agent cf the Chig- necto Ship Railway, and Professor Robert- son, is as follows :-—

‘‘The committee appointed some time ago to deal with the subject of steam communica- cation between Charlottetown and Pugwash and other ports of the north shore of Nova Scotia have not yet reported, The matter is of great importance to the trade of Charlotte- tow’ and should receive the special attention of this corporation Large shipments of coal will soon be made at Pugwash, which has an excellent harbor, has now direct communica tion with all parts of Canada and the United States, and will yet become of the first im-

ortance as a distributing point on the Strait. ts close proximity toCharlottetown will make it of great advantage to this city.

‘“‘In the matter of the extension of the Prince Edward Island Railway to the several wharves in the city, a committee was 2 pointed some time ago to ascertain the pro able cost of land damages. That committee has not yet reported, nor is it likely to do s> seeing that the owners of the property requir- ed are at present unwilling to name a price.

‘This undertaking being part of the original plan for building the Prince Edward Island Railway, and the Government having all the necessary powers to appropriate the right of way, there can be no good reason why the work should not be proceeded with with- out further delay. This subject is again re- commended for your earnest consideration.

‘* The committee appointed some time ago in the matter ot preferential claims and fraud- ulent assignments have not reported, and the subject is again presented for your consi- deration. The remedy would seem to be the passage of a well-considered law, enaciing that bills of sale, judgments or assignments given in the nature of preference shali be heid by the pledgee for the benetit of all the creditors of the personsexecuting them. It is to be hoped that an effort wilt be male to secure the passage of some such Act at the next session of the Provincial Legislature.

“At the close of navigation and several times since this Province was again subjected to the inexcusable delay of the winter mail service, by which the people were kept with- out mails for several days, and the trade of the Province seriously and unnecessarily in- terfered with. When, at the close of naviga- tion, the steamers of the Steam Navigation Company ceased torun, the winter steamer Stanley was not ready for work, nor was she ready tor several days afterwards, Later on, when her steam-pipe burst, she was without a duplicate, and the daim-ged part had to be sent to Halifax for repairs. The mails, mesnwhile, were’ordered from Pictou to Cape Tormentive, to be brought acress the Streits by the iceboats. Part of the mails were thus ! brought over, but before the balance could be brought the Capes service was stopped, aud the mails were again ordered beck to Pictou This caused the country to be without mails for over a week. When the Stanley was waiting at Charlottetown before commencing her trips, the Council telegraphed the Mints- ter of Marine, setiing forth the facts and expressing the ind guation which everyone in this community felt at the time. Tha reply received was unsatisfactory. Again, when the steamer was stuck in the ice in the Strait the Council sent another telegram urging that the mails be removed to the Capes and that the Stanley be allowed to con- tinue her trip as long as possible in order that the large accumulation of produce might go forward. In reply to this a message was re- ceived steting taut the mails would for the present be removed to the Capes, but no an- swer was made to the request concerning the Stanley’s movements. Fearing from certain indications that she was about to be discon- tinued, the Board telegraphed to Messrs. Mc- Leod and ne oo who were then at Ot- tawa, asking them to interview the CGovern- ment on behalf cf the Board, and to urge that both services be maintained concurrent y aud continued as long as possible. The Board re- ceived an indirect reply to say that their re- quest would be complied with. This intelli- gence is satisfactory.

‘** The winter Strait service is bad enough at its best, but when to this is added inex- cusable delays, it is usendurable. Diffcul- ties of this nature might be avoided by the appointment of some person located in Char- lottetown, and clothed with sufficient author- ity to act promptly in cases of emergency.

** The great !oss which this Province suffers annually, through itsisolation in winter is ditiicalt to estimate, bat its existence is be- yond question. _ By the early closirg of the Strait, the Island people are prevented from taking advantage of the markets abroad at a time when good prices prevail. With free access to these markets at all times the aver- age prices obtained by the Prince Edward Island farmers and shipp rs would generally be largely in excess of those enjoyed in our present circumstances.

‘That which the trade and commerce of this Province most needs at the present time is a tunnel across the Struit of Northumber- land, Itis now believed that the contract between Prince Edward Island and the Dominion ueder which this Province became part of Canada in 1873 can be fulfilled. This being the fact, the people of this country should unite in demanding the explicit per- formance of that contract at the earliest pussible moment. If to falfil this solemn en gageiment there shculd be required an annua! outlay of half a million dollars or more for interest ov the necessary capital, there should be no hesitation in the matter; but when, as is now believed to be the case, the annual outlay for interest on the cost will not exceed one half that sum, there can be no reasonable excuse for further delay.

‘The Canadian people may safely be relied upon when they fuily comprehend the matter, not to repudiate their obligations. But whether or not, the people of Priace Edward Island have an important duty to perform. lt is incumbent upon them to show that although they have been patient over this question in the pst, the time has now arrived for action, and for the literal fulfl- ment of the con'ract.

Respectfully submitted by order of the Council,

Lewis Carve, President. “Since this report was written Mr. Williai Smith, the Deputy Minister of Marine, has visited Charlottetown and has this afternoo 1 consulted tho Council of the Board of Trade in

An animated discussivn followed the ad- option of this report, for a suinmary of which Tux Examiner is unable to tind space to-day. The speakers dealt mainly | with the importance of the tunnel project, and the necessity there was for agitating the matter. Messrs. James Paton, L. L. | Beer, L. Carvell, D. Farquharson, A.

Resolved, That a committee of five members } of this Board be appointed to draw up & re- | port and suggest the best means of urging the | Dominion Government to undertake the con- ; struction of a tunnel across the Straits.”

. . . This resolution was unanimously adopted, |

and the following commitiee was appoiut- ed: James Paton, L L Beer, F. T. New- bery, F'. H. Arnaud and George Peake.

On motion of L. L. Beer power was given the Committee to add to their numbers, and the names of John Newson and T. A. McLean were added.
